about

First song I wrote actually in Ohio, last song on this disc from Guate, one of the saddest songs I ever wrote.

lyrics

Never thought id feel lonesome, boy I guess I was wrong
When you’re, sitting there blue with a gram in your hand
And two angels by your side…
Wouldn’t you know?

Never thought I’d feel ugly, boy I guess I was wrong
When you, stare your self down to long in the mirror
You forget just who you are…
Wouldn’t you know?

Never thought id feel vengeful, boy I guess I was wrong
When you’re, picking your teeth all up off of the floor
And your open fist is raw…
Wouldn’t you know?

Coro

Well I, saw you by the bayou, way down by them railroad tracks
You wasn’t up to nothing, with a hatchet in your hand
I know that’s where they found her, little girl with a bloodied neck
But you know that I won’t say nothing, cause you’re my best friend yet
